"The letters in this book provide a portrait of the life of Bishop Mathias Loras, first Bishop of Dubuque, Iowa, from the days of his youth in Lyons, France, through his seminary days, his ocean crossings, his time in Mobile, Alabama, his elevation to the episcopacy, and finally his efforts as a pioneer missionary in establishing the Diocese of Dubuque on the upper Midwestern frontier. They cover a time span from 1809 in letters to members of his family, and continue on through to his death in 1858. Descriptions of the hazards of ocean crossings, the perils of fording swollen streams in his missionary travels, and his interactions -- wildly exciting at times -- with the Native Americans in his diocese are all chronicled here. The letters amply establish the foundation for a picture of just who was Mathias Loras. They also document the many foundations he established for the Catholic Church in Iowa -- in the men and women he recruited to work in his diocese, and in the many churches he established in what was and undeveloped wilderness frontier upon his arrival in 1839"--Jacket.
